After multiple failures in the transition house, the sexual predator and multirécidiviste Richard Charlish has recently received permission from the parole Board of Canada (PBC) to obtain pornographic or sexually explicit.

This special condition to which he was subject was withdrawn because the Commission considers that it is no longer “reasonable and necessary to manage the risk” that the criminal represents. No other explanation is provided to this issue in the decision rendered on August 14, 2017.

Charlish, 52 years old, shall also have the right ” to obtain articles or articles intended for the use of women “. On the other condition is removed, no indication is made. For the next year, he will also live in a community correctional centre.

In spite of his dangerousness and inability to stay ” sober “, the european Commission continues to talk of ” reintegration process “.

Failures

In 2014, despite the high risk that he kills someone, Richard Charlish had been released under conditions after four failures in a halfway house, two altercations and violent period of segregation. He had then broken his own record by breaking his conditions of release upon the first day returning to the house with a strong odor of alcohol.

“No monitoring program may not adequately protect the company against the risk of re-offending that you present,” said the PBC at the time.

The man of Mashteuiatsh, in the Lac-Saint-Jean, has served his last eight-year sentence as a whole for sexual assault.

Long-term supervision

Richard Charlish is subject to an order of long-term supervision (LTSO) of 10 years, which is expected to expire in 2022. This ordinance has been suspended and then reinstated on several occasions

“The Commission is convinced that if he is released, the criminal is likely to commit an offence causing death or serious harm to other persons “, wrote the PBC in 2011.
